Decoding Legal AI’s Talent Market - #NYTechWeek
Hosted by
◕‿◕
ツA quiet migration is happening in legal tech. Attorneys are leaving practice to build, sell, and scale the very tools transforming their profession. New kinds of roles are emerging faster than the market can define them - legal engineers, solutions architects, attorney-operators - but comp, role expectations, and career paths are still opaque. This event changes that.
Join current and former attorneys, legal AI operators, founders, and legal tech builders for a candid evening on what these roles actually look like, what skills transfer, and how lawyers are navigating the shift from traditional legal work into building, deploying, and adopting AI.

- Emilie McConnachie — Applied Legal Research Manager at Harvey
- Dan Ton-That — Legal Engineer at Legora
